  • plumber-electri... Here's an easy way to unblock a toilet using a mop and plastic bag. You just wrap a plastic bag round the mop head to keep it clean and use the mop as a plunger to unblock your toilet.
    If you don't have a mop or fancy doing the job if you live in the Wolverhampton area you can always call Owen you local Wolverhampton Plumber.
    Unblocking toilets are a straight forward job the same as a lot of other plumbing jobs around the house. plumber-electri...

    My husband spent over an hour trying to unblock our toilet this morning. He was most annoyed whenever I looked on google, found this post and then did it in less than five minutes myself whilst he was in a neighbour's using their loo! Many thanks:)

    Use a bin bag instead of a carrier bag and you won't have to deal with water getting into the bag. This means your mop isn't ruined or even touched by the water which is great if you don't have a spare head in.

After a couple of hours the blockage was slightly better but still not great. Five seconds plunging with the mop in a bin bag and the blockage was clear. Cheers!

  • @johno8892
    @johno8892 8 років тому +1

    Why do people always put paper down after using the toilet,before flushing. Do what you have to, then flush then start using paper. Usually it's paper that cause blockage. If it does you don't have to deal with the nasty stuff.

    Owen, you are a genius. I bought deblocking liquid, two bottles, had three goes, left it overnight - nothing. I bought a screw type this that wouldn't even go round the bend. I had a blocked toilet for three days. I took a bin liner, wrapped it round the mop, plunged and it went in thirty seconds. what can i say - l love you....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in Paris, can I send you a bottle of wine and some cheese.

    After a quote of £105 from a plumber to unblock my toilet. Me using a metal coathanger, even went out and bought toilet unblocker tools. I was certain that the 3 meter wire unblocker would work. IT DIDNT. just watched this video at 08:23 its now 08:27 and my toilet is fixed. All that stress and all i needed was a MOP. thanks for the video.

    Owen Cooper you are the King of poo poo. I love you. My fiancee spent a whole day trying to unblock our shitter, then I found this video, followed the instructions (used an old pair of boxers taped onto a broom handle instead of a mop) and now it's flowing as clean as a whistle. You are the Lord of the Bog, Just one question...did you intentionally block your toilet, or was this all a crazy coincidence? I liked seeing your floaty poo nuggets..

    Been using similar method for years. The most important thing to remember is to push down gently but firmly then pull up sharply. You don't need the supermarket bags, just the mop. Stand a bucket up close to the toilet bowl to dump the mop into after use.

(like I said it took a few tries and I didnt think it was going to work but i wegged it in there and pumped like there was no tomo and it worked!! ) THANK YOU

  • @leaperrins8373
    @leaperrins8373 7 років тому

    I am going to try this in a minute. I have had a blocked toilet for two days ( I only have one toilet too - dont ask how I have been managing!) but I am trying to avoid costing my landlord a call out charge because they will want to come in and see the toilet first (how embarrassing!)they never take my word for anything. I will never hear the end of it. I have tried everything bar a plunger - hand in gloves, drain unblocker, coat hanger and caustic soda. I am running out of options!
    If I ever report anything my landlord always say 'what did you do to it?' like it's my fault. The boiler just stopped working and they accused me of breaking it because I switched it on and off at the wall trying to restart the pilot light! Any rental agency will ask you to try and restart the piilot before calling an engineer. It's standard practice. If I hear 'you shouldn't touch the boiler EVER because it's not designed to be turned off (someone please tell me how a boiler isn't designed to be switched off and restarted??) once fucking more from my landlady I will SCREAM! I'm not sure how she thinks I restart the heating when the electric or gas meter runs out (since it needs both to work)?! Situations like this are such an insult to my intelligence!
    if I try and deal with an issue myself the owners try to use it against me.I don't want to cost them a call out, it's embarrassing having people see your shit floating everywhere and I see myself as capable of doing small odd jobs. I would have hoped this would be wanted in a tenant, not turned around upon them and used to try and blame them for the issues. Oh well can't win them all. It's better than being homeless. I hope this works . . . I will post back and let you know.

    A big part of the problem causing it is the modern DESIGN of toilets - why are they made with such small exit holes these days, are people's a*holes getting smaller? Don't think so!! When renovating house and choosing new loos, first thing I'd do going into showrooms was open toilet lids and look at the waste exits, not something staff expected!

    There's a less messy way I discovered that doesn't need a mop. Get a bin bag (or any bag without holes) and seal it up nice and tight with tape. You should end up with a puffy bag "pillow". Then grab it with both hands, put it in the toilet bowl and pump away. Don't put your face right next to it in case anything splashes back up at you. When you're done, put your bag into another bin bag and get rid of it.

    Wow, i thought today was a losing day. One of the cats pooped in my son's bedroom. I used paper towels to remove the thick of it and flushed it down the toilet...silly, silly me! Having used hot water, drain tool, shampoo, caustic soda it seemed to be getting worse and then this magic... wow I pushed three times and lifted to see if anything was happening and the water drained away!!! Overly grateful thank you toooo much 😊

    I'm presume you don't need to waste a good mop, just use a rag or cloth your happy to dispose of put it in a long plastic back and push it down with a stick or some sort of rod inserted inside the bag holding the dry end of the plastic bag and shoving it down .. I know I've over thunk it but yeh same principle :)
